  • Margate Caves Cliftonville © 2009 R
    KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY MARGATE CAVES CLIFTONVILLE © 2009 R. F. LeGear MAAIS AIFA This paper has been downloaded from www.kentarchaeology.ac. The author has placed the paper on the site for download for personal or academic use. Any other use must be cleared with the author of the paper who retains the copyright. Please email [email protected] for details regarding copyright clearance. The Kent Archaeological Society (Registered Charity 223382) welcomes the submission of papers. The details can be downloaded from the website. Introduction The set of chalk caves known as Margate Caves have been a popular tourist attraction since the 1860s when they were first opened to the public as ‘Vortigern’s cavern’. In 2004, the Caves were closed due to Health and Safety issues and access to the site is now prohibited, the long-term future of the Caves being uncertain. This short paper is based on a report prepared for the Heritage Developments Advisor of Thanet District Council by the writer in December 2008. Methodology As the Caves are not currently accessible this report has been prepared primarily from notes made during 1993 when the manager of the Caves at the time, Nikki Martin, planned to remove the accumulated debris that had been deposited down the well and clear out the shafts [or sumps] at the bottom of the so called dungeons. A small party of Kent Underground Research Group members volunteered to undertake these tasks and spent several weekends at the site¹. The writer was invited to attend and used the opportunity to conduct a modern underground survey using standard cave survey techniques [Fig 1].

  • Excursion to Sheppey
    EXCURSION TO SHEPPEY. 459 Heath, where there is a fine section in an outlier of Blackheath Beds. Towards the base the pebbles had become cemented by iron oxide into a hard conglomerate. Sand occurred below the pebble beds, and between the two was a thin band of allophane ; numerous specimens of this mineral were obtained. The amount of oxide of iron present gave the section a vivid red appearance. In spite of a long search, nothing beyond flint pebbles was found although on previous occasions a few quartzite pebbles of unknown derivation had been obtained by Dr. Hinde. Above the Blackheath Beds was to be seen a quantity of drift material, derived from Blackheath Beds and Thanet Sand. A short walk through a picturesque plantation brought the members to the edge of the dry Chalk valley, and the magnificent view there obtained was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A steep descent was made to the main road, and Upper Warlingham was again reached. Here the members enjoyed the hospitality of the Rev. T. T. Griffith, M.A., amidst the sylvan beauties which surround his home. Hearty votes of thanks to the Director and to the Rev. Mr. Griffith concluded an instructive excursion. REFERE~CES.

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.

This Neighbourhood Plan is submitted by the parish councils of Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk, in Kent, both being qualifying bodies as defined by the Localism Act 2011. The parishes were designated as a Neighbourhood Area under the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012, Part 2, and Section 6 by Swale Borough Council on 19th September 2013. Strategically, the message of this Plan is that both the villages feel they are under siege. The pressure comes from two directions – increased traffic and proposed housing developments. Traffic: We sit at the head of the bottleneck leading to the Channel ports; Brenley Corner is among the nation’s blackest of black spots and, given the increasing demands of heavy goods vehicles travelling between the continent and the UK, the pressure on the through roads and country lanes and lay-bys, can only get worse. The quality of the air we breathe will also be affected.
